Overview

This is the Ingestor server container used as part of the NVIDIA RAG Blueprint and used to orchestrate the end to end Ingestion.

The NVIDIA RAG Blueprint is a reference solution and foundational starting point for building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines with NVIDIA NIM microservices. It enables enterprises to deliver natural language question answering grounded in their own data, while meeting governance, latency, and scalability requirements. Designed to be decomposable and configurable, the blueprint integrates GPU-accelerated components with NeMo Retriever models, Multimodal and Vision Language Models, and guardrailing services, to provide an enterprise-ready framework. With a pre-built reference UI, open-source code, and multiple deployment options — including local docker (with and without NVIDIA Hosted endpoints) and Kubernetes — it serves as a flexible starting point that developers can adapt and extend to their specific needs.
